I've searched high and low for the edit of Van Halen's "Hot For Teacher" (3:58) and haven't been able to turn it up on YouTube or on any of their albums.
Can anybody tell me the edit points (assuming the mix is identical to the album version) or point me to an album with the edit version? ------------- Gene Savage http://www.BlackLightRadio.com - http://www.BlackLightRadio.com http://www.facebook.com/TulsaSavage - http://www.facebook.com/TulsaSavage Tulsa, Oklahoma USA |

The stock copy runs 3:59 (printed time of 3:58). There are several edits to cut out the missing 43 seconds of the LP version, and some would be tricky to get right without hearing the 45. I'll send you a dub, Gene. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

Aaron, thank you... and boy, were you ever right on the "tricky edits"... even WITH the 45 it is tough to get it right!
I don't know if this will be helpful to anybody, but just in case you want to give it a shot, I list the edit points below. The edit times listed are as you work along the edited file towards the end, and I list the absolute lengths to help you get it right even if your file starts a little sooner or later: 0:13 - 0:22 (8.745 sec) 2:46 - 2:54 (7.607 sec) 2:56 - 3:03 (7.553 sec) (This one's impossible!) 3:07 - 3:11 (3.329 sec) (Nearly impossible.) 3:28 - 3:32 (3.788 sec) 3:36 - 3:40 (3.827 sec) 3:57 - 4:04 (7.403 sec) Truthfully, I had to edit in mono to be sure I was getting it exact, and I don't know that I could duplicate my edits in stereo even with my own guide... I suspect BlackLight Radio is just going to play Aaron's dub to make sure we're accurate. This one needs a CD release!! ------------- Gene Savage http://www.BlackLightRadio.com - http://www.BlackLightRadio.com http://www.facebook.com/TulsaSavage - http://www.facebook.com/TulsaSavage Tulsa, Oklahoma USA |

Van Halen doesn't strike me as a band that cares much about re- releasing old single versions. I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for this one. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

I see that there is a 7" promo with a run time of 3:44 printed on the
label (7-29199, BCA 2599S DJ). It also has "RE 1" on the label. Does this mean it is a DJ reservice? I do not own this to compare. I was wondering if this is a shorter edit than the 3:58 single version or if this is a misprint on the label. |

I'll have a look through my promo 45s as soon as possible to see if I
have it. I for sure have the stock 45 and at least one of the promos. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

Well, to my surprise, I didn't have a promo on file for "Hot For Teacher,"
so I just ordered a copy of the 3:44 edit. I'll report my findings when it arrives. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

Great! I'm surprised you didn't have it. I guy that sells 45s at my
local flea market had 2 or 3 Van Halen promo 45s that I picked up for a dollar but no HFT. I was super excited as I was thumbing through anticipating possibly coming across it. I think this is my favorite part of this hobby. |

Let us know if this is a legitimate edit. Rare something new comes to light! |

The VH promo 45 arrived today, and there is only one difference between this version and the stock 45. On this (3:44 listed; 3:46 actual) version, the first 13.5 seconds have been chopped off compared to the stock 45 edit. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

I'm surprised that Warner Bros. thought that trimming that fantastic intro would help get airplay for the song!
By the way, the teacher in question was David Lee Roth's Spanish teacher in high school. His Spanish ended up being so good that he was able to record a Spanish language version of his entire album Eat 'Em and Smile. The song "Loco Del Calor" (Spanish version of "Goin' Crazy") is much better than the English language version (my opinion), and is a Crap From The Past favorite. ------------- There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one http://www.crapfromthepast.com" rel="nofollow - Crap From The Past . |

Thanks for clarifying Aaron! Interesting that they chopped this one
down even further. This is one case where I prefer the LP version. |
